Jeez, Dave, the BuShites must absolutely love you- you've fallen for their BS hook, line & sinker: terrified & pissing your pants over a largely phantom Internatinal Islamic Conspiracy. You checked under your bed for terrorists lately?

The 'logical argument" you claim to employ should also exhibit a sense of proportion and perspective. Your chances of being killed by "Godless Terrorism" are virtually nil. A good deal less likely than your being struck by lightening or killed in a nuclear- 'scuse me Noo-Cue-Lar- power plant accident. Your chances of being killed by a drunk driver, on the other hand, are pretty good.

Course, if the good old Red White and Blue doesn't change course & keeps manufacturing NEW terrorists at the rate it currently is, your Jeremiad may prove true. They don't "Hate Freedom"- they hate the U.S.'s arrogance, military intervention and economic and cultural imperialism.
